With five candidates vying for two open seats on the school committee and four candidates running for two open select board seats, Andover is poised for an unusually busy campaign season leading up to the local election on March 26.
The Town of Andover released the list of candidates who were certified onto the ballot Wednesday following Tuesday’s deadline for candidates to submit nomination papers. Voters, however, still have time to get in the reace: the deadline to register to vote in the annual town election is March 16.
